I believe this is it. In order for my olc to work correctly I need to
change the load_*'s in db.c? IE:
mob->name = pMobIndex->player_name;
mob->short_descr = pMobIndex->short_descr;
mob->long_descr = pMobIndex->long_descr;
mob->description = pMobIndex->description;
TO:
mob->name = str_dup(pMobIndex->player_name);
etc.
correct??
Let me know if i'm close.
Ark.
